Seeding wheat between carrot rows as bait for wireworm; Wireworm has been a problem for us, and wireworm is known to enjoy munching on carrots. In an attempt to reduce wireworm damage in the carrot variety trial, we planted wheat between the carrot rows to act as bait and draw the wireworm away from the carrots. We later trimmed the wheat back to avoid shading and competition with the carrots.
